Is it possible to use Qt.createComponent("Dialog.qml")

Volkeracho

Im trying to implement a generic dialog system. Therefore I want to create different dialogs dynamically. But when I try to use

Qt.createComponent("Dialog.qml")

I get

qml: Error creating new dialog, expected component status to be READY but it was not!
qml: Component status is: 3
qml: qrc:/Dialog.qml:-1 File not found

And I realised that there is no Qml-File in the Qt-Install-Directory that represents a dialog. What I found was the plugin/module QtQuick/Dialogs and some DLL files. So my question is what name should I supply when using Qt.createDialog("<file_name.qml>") on native QML components like Dialog, Button or Label?

Hi @Volkeracho
Not sure about the Dialog but for other components like Button or Label you can just add them in a separate file say for eg. MyButton.qml or MyLabel.qml and then use the URL's for these files depending upon where they are present i.e resource system or just local path.

Or you can just use QML Component:

Component {
    id: component
    Dialog { }
}

Creating an instance is a matter of calling Component::createObject():

var dialog = component.createObject(parent);

Thanks a lot both of you, this will do nicely!
